You've got to love weather predictions
A colleague of mine at work (Steve) and I used to have heated debates about who was better at predicting weather - the Brits, or the Americans.
My take was that the Brits didn't have any weather to predict ("Uh, it's going to be foggy in the early morning, raining by mid-morning, maybe a tornado in the afternoon, followed by intermittent sunshine, and we end the day with more rain. Tomorrow may be sunny, or it may rain.").
I saw this prediciton of Tropical Storm Jeane (from a link on Dave Barry's blog) and figured he's probably won the argument!
